MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Today, the SPLC Action Fund condemns the offensive and racist remarks at former President Trump’s rally in New York City.
“The growing Latinx population in the Deep South and throughout this country deserves respect and appreciation, not insults,” said Margaret Huang, president and CEO, SPLC Action Fund. “Hate speech is unacceptable and should have no place in politics, least of all at a podium where a presidential candidate is making the case to lead this country.
“Our nation deserves politicians and leaders who reject all forms of hate and bigotry. Voters, including the crucial Latinx vote, want leaders who will work to unify, rather than divide.”
